“Through the activities that I create, and the lessons provided by PSEG Long Island, the kids are learning about saving energy in everything they do, every day. They even remind me to shut the lights in the classroom to save energy on a sunny day! They are learning, applying what they learn in everyday life, their personal lives and how we can benefit the future with all we have learned.”
